Putin dish?

Typo? Maybe sub in pears for bears?

I’d like to take credit, but it’s not my idea. There’s an organization or group or whatever that announces an annual challenge in the fall to take seven rides to seven venues for coffee and then post about them. The Bicycle Life group on a former website participated for a few years before relocating to Cycle365.

Coffeeneuring, eh?
Bike, coffee, bike, coffee, bike ...
New word and great plan!

Thanks for introducing me to this great excuse for enjoying two favorite activities using one simple verb!

That's valuable info Rachael. I think I see this plan listed a lot on internet - like at Amazon and even Walmart. The prices range from $Can 40-60. For 14 days. That puts your 9 month Sim cost at 9x2x$40=$720, if you can remember to renew every 14 days. Is there something I am missing about this, or do I need to get the extra piggy bank out from under the bed?

I am hoping that our German friends will be able, maybe by using their local address, to get us something that will resemble what a local would be paying. In past we have been using an "international SIM", in our case from the company onesim.com. That cost maybe $50 for 8 gb for 30 days. One time we bought a SIM from LIDL, which offered good prices, but when they found out we really didn't live at the German address we gave, they silently cancelled it! It took a phone call to them in German from a German friend to finally find out what their beef was.

Maybe this is a good topic for a Forum post!

Wow, that's unbelievably early! Anywhere you can eat in Barcelona before 9PM that's not a tapas bar or Indian restaurant is a find. I'll relay this to my friend. :)

Not the sort of place it would occur to us to go to, if we’d just read about it. I’d have thought it would be too touristy or spendy but it was neither. Pure delight. I’m sure being here in low season helped the experience.

We reserved for 7:30, and several other tables had already been seated for a change. The place was starting to fill up by about 9 when we left. It’s a low season and midweek, so there’s that to consider too.

I have a newer phone that supports e-sim which allows me to still use my SIM card from T-Mobile and then purchase and download the e-sim that provides me with a French phone number. I can then use it as my primary phone number but still have access to my U.S. number. It’s great! I purchased Orange Holiday Europe plan which can be topped off online.
1. 8 GB of data valid in Europe
2. 30 minutes + 200 text messages (international)
3. Unlimited calls + text messages in Europe
4. Valid for 14 days

I purchased a similar plan from Orange for Scott’s phone in Barcelona with a physical SIM card which can also be topped off. If you order several weeks before you leave you can get the same plan I ordered above.

What time was dinner? Asking for a friend…

Marble plates... something you don't see every day.

Great to see youse in Barcelona!

Those poor parents on that flight from Munich. Glad the little one calmed down!

That second from the left one might could give me nightmares!

I see you're slumming it... ;)

I'm jealous.

I've often bitten off more than I can chew and cutting out some places makes sense. York is city I've visited many times -- my son lives there and my daughter went to uni there - and I don't really want to go again. Lincoln is a small scale comparison. I reckon the cathedral is better -- probably the world's best!
